Where are Books Located

BCCISProf · 12-02-2009, 01:17 PM

I just upgraded my computer from XP to Windows 7 and installed the Connect software. During the installation, Windows 7 backs-up the entire system into a directory Windows.OLD.

I do have a copy of the purchased books on a separate drive. However, I can't find all the other books that were in the Library prior to the installation.

1. Does anyone know where they are stored under XP? (hidden directories?)

2. How does one tell the new installation to look into a specific directory? Or does one drag the books into the "new" library software?

3. How would I go about deauthorizing the old (XP) software which no longer exists and authorizing the new Windows 7 installation?

Thank you!

My Documents\My Books\eBook Library, isn't it?

Thanks for the response.

Apparently not all. I have that folder and it contains only some of the books that I have on the PRS500.

Also, how do I get the library software to point to that directory. Should I simply drag them in?

No idea, I'm afraid - I'm still on XP & OSX!
